Frases de Samuel Beckett

Samuel Barclay Beckett foi um dramaturgo e escritor irlandês.

Beckett é amplamente considerado como um dos escritores mais influentes do século XX. Fortemente influenciado por James Joyce, ele é considerado um dos últimos modernistas. Como inspiração para muitos escritores posteriores, ele às vezes também é considerado um dos primeiros pós-modernistas. Ele é um dos escritores fundamentais, no que Martin Esslin chamou de "Teatro do absurdo". Seu trabalho tornou-se cada vez mais minimalista em sua carreira mais tarde.

Recebeu o Nobel de Literatura de 1969. Utiliza nas suas obras, traduzidas em mais de trinta línguas, uma riqueza metafórica imensa, privilegiando uma visão pessimista acerca do fenômeno humano. É considerado um dos principais autores do denominado teatro do absurdo. Sua obra mais famosa tanto no Brasil como em Portugal é a peça Esperando Godot. Wikipedia

Samuel Beckett: Frases em inglês

“What I assert, deny, question, in the present, I still can. But mostly I shall use the various tenses of the past. For mostly I do not know, it is perhaps no longer so, it is too soon to know, I simply do not know, perhaps shall never know.”

Molloy (1951)

“The long blue days, for his head, for his side, and the little paths for his feet, and all the brightness to touch and gather. Through the grass the little mosspaths, bony with old roots, and the trees sticking up, and the flowers sticking up, and the fruit hanging down, and the white exhausted butterflies, and the birds never the same darting all day long into hiding. And all the sounds, meaning nothing. Then at night rest in the quiet house, there are no roads, no streets any more, you lie down by a window opening on refuge, the little sounds come that demand nothing, ordain nothing, explain nothing, propound nothing, and the short necessary night is soon ended, and the sky blue again all over the secret places where nobody ever comes, the secret places never the same, but always simple and indifferent, always mere places, sites of a stirring beyond coming and going, of a being so light and free that it is as the being of nothing.”
